How to Build a House of Cards

If you're bored and looking for a diversion, a deck of playing cards can come in handy. You don't even need a playing partner or know how to deal solataire. You can amuse yourself by building a house of cards.

Instructions

    • 1

      Clear a level, sturdy surface to begin building your house.

    • 2

      Pick a new deck of cards to work with.

    • 3

      Choose 2 cards from the deck.

    • 4

      Put them about 2 inches from each other. This pair will form the base of your house.

    • 5

      Lean the 2 cards towards each other making an upside down "V" or a tee-pee shape.

    • 6

      Position another upside down "V" next to the first one with about 1 centimeter of space between them. Continue building tee-pees or upside down "V"s on the ground level as wide as you want to make the base of your house.

    • 7

      Lay a card horizontally on top of the 2 points.

    • 8

      Build more upside down "V's" on top of the horizontal card.

      Continue building around and up as high as your imagination and your cards can go.
